La Petite Mosquée dans la cité #[nn]

Part of Casterman's "Sociorama" series — sociological storytelling through the medium of bande dessinée — La Petite Mosquée dans la cité brings Consigny and Jouanneau's thoughtful, grounded vision to a subject rarely explored in comics form. The cover sets the scene with quiet confidence: a small group of figures stands before a plain, modern building in a city housing estate, a speech bubble welcoming them to their "new premises" in the warm, understated tones of blue and pink that define the artwork. Published in 2018, this slice-of-life BD promises the kind of careful, humanizing sociological observation that the Sociorama collection does so well.
