Loris Malaguzzi was one of the most important figures in 20th
century early childhood education, achieving world-wide recognition
for his educational ideas and his role in the creation of municipal
schools for young children in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia,
the most successful example ever of progressive, democratic and
public education. Despite Malaguzzi's reputation, very little of
what he wrote or said about early childhood education has been
available in English. This book helps fill the gap, presenting for
the first time in English, writings and speeches spanning 1945 to
1993, selected by a group of his colleagues from an archive
established in Reggio Emilia. They range from short poems, letters
and newspaper articles to extended pieces about Malaguzzi's early
life, the origins of the municipal schools and his ideas about
children, pedagogy and schools. This material is organised into
five chronological chapters, starting at the end of World War Two
and ending just before his death, with introductions to each
chapter providing background, including the historical context, the
main events in Malaguzzi's life and the rationale for the selection
of documents. The book provides a unique insight into the
background, thinking and work of Malaguzzi, revealing, in his own
words, how his thinking developed, how he moved between theory and
practice, how he border-crossed many disciplines and subjects, and
how he combined many roles ranging from administrator and
campaigner to researcher and pedagogue. Academics, students and
practitioners alike will find this landmark publication provides
rich insights into his life and work.
