Abstract
This article describes the transformation in Turkey of an independent peasantry under greater market integration. It is argued that in addition to capitalist farming, which only constitutes a geographically specific development path, petty commodity production in Turkish agriculture may be analysed through three distinct transformation trajectories. These trajectories are described by means of village case histories; then each development tendency is analysed within its articulation into the larger economic unit. The discussion aims at illustrating the potential variation in petty production under the domination of capitalism.
