This dissertation is an investigation of the social, economic, and political consequences of state sector work unit (danwei) system reforms for the residents of China's urban "working class" neighborhoods. At this historical moment, massive unemployment and the large-scale coming of migrants in the wake of danwei reforms are irrevocably transforming once close-knit workers' communities. Based on 21 months of fieldwork at a Beijing neighborhood, this project explores the numerous interrelated effects of burgeoning local marketization and consumerism as danwei withdraw from daily life, including the production of markets, the innovation of expertise, the formulation of "middle class" identities, and the changing meanings of kinship and localism. As the "vertical" bureaucratic organizational structures of danwei disintegrate, and are replaced by the socioeconomic inventions of former workers and migrants, I argue that contestations between state and subjects over "public" and "private" spheres and new forms of sociality, morality, and civility emerging at this neighborhood evidence a nascent "civil society," while a critical examination of the applicability and meanings of this concept in the Chinese context elucidates its usefulness as an analytical construct that can describe rapid social change in postsocialist milieu.
