ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a ‘typology’ of forms of contested agrarian transition to and within capitalism, with a primary focus on the periphery and the place of the peasantry within those forms of transition. Six agrarian transition types are identified: the ‘farmer road’, the ‘Junker road’ (semi-proletarianization and accumulation by dispossession), the supply of labour by the subsistence-oriented farm (semi-proletarianization), petty commodity production under capitalism, articulation between the lineage mode of production and capitalism, and articulation between feudalism and capitalism.
