Williams Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Sociology December, 2010 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Professor Richard Lloyd Professor Brooke Ackerly Professor Daniel Cornfield Professor Larry Isaac Copyright © 2010 Damian Terry Williams To the love of my life, Helene Di Iorio, the sweetest person I have ever known and To Nashville’s unhoused men, there but good fortune go I iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people have helped me complete this project. Among these are the members of my dissertation committee, who gave me the support, guidance and academic freedom necessary to develop an idiosyncratic and inchoate idea into an intelligible piece of sociological craftsmanship. Richard Lloyd, my dissertation chair, encouraged me to connect my local ethnographic observations to both historical and extra-local processes – his distinctive sociological imagination has profoundly shaped my work since we first crossed paths seven years ago in his seminars on “Contemporary Social Theory” and “Cities in a World Economy.” Intellectual craftsman par excellence, Professor Lloyd was a consistent source of sage conceptual and editorial advice. Ever a font of intellectual support, he continues to inspire me as I begin my career in the Windy City he so ably theorized in his first major piece of scholarship. Dan Cornfield provided consistently insightful and sharp critiques of what were at times ethereal chapter arguments. Moreover, his consistent votes of confidence were invaluable psychological buoys. Larry Isaac was a source of sagacious and candid advice since my second year of graduate studies.

Along with the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, in March, the United States completed the destruction of the so-called “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria. In October, the United States launched a military operation that resulted in the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed “caliph” of ISIS. As part of the maximum pressure campaign against the Iranian regime – the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism – the United States and our partners imposed new sanctions on Tehran and its proxies. In April, the United States designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) – the first time such a designation has been applied to part of another government.
