The new book, Loris Malaguzzi and the Schools of Reggio Emilia, is part of the research project A pedagogy of transgression: the educational work of Malaguzzi, and the product of a fruitful collaboration between Reggio Children, the Preschools and Infant-Toddler Centres – Istituzione of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia, and the international publishers Routledge in London. The project consisted of the transcription, selection and translation into English of a wide range of documents by Loris Malaguzzi, archived at the Documentation and Educational Research Centre of the Istituzione in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

The book is edited by a team which includes Paola Cagliari, Marina Castagnetti, Claudia Giudici, Carla Rinaldi, Vea Vecchi, and Professor Emeritus Peter Moss (UCL Institute of Education, University College London), with support from the Leverhulme Trust (UK) and the contribution of the Reggio Children - Loris Malaguzzi Centre Foundation.

One hundred documents from the archive were selected for inclusion in the volume, divided into five chapters in chronological order; each chapter begins with an introduction about the historical background, life and work of Loris Malaguzzi and a discussion of the rationale behind the selection of documents from that period.

The book also features a foreword by Gunilla Dahlberg and an introduction by Peter Moss (co-editors of the series until recently). The book concludes with a short chapter of reflections by the Reggio Emilia editorial team on the legacy of Loris Malaguzzi.

The Italian edition will be published by Reggio Children in February 2017

The book is on sale from March in our BookFoodShop at the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre!!
