Postmoderniteit: Onzekerheid & Onveiligheid
reemdelingen van niet-westerse herkomst zijn een typisch fenomeen van de postmoderniteit. Zo waren er in Nederland halverwege de jaren 1960 (golden sixties) minder dan 6000 vreemdelingen van Turkse of Marokkaanse afkomst. In België waren er 461 Marokkanen en 320 Turken. Bij aanvang van de postmoderniteit in 1970 waren er steeds nog maar 129.000 vreemdelingen van niet-westerse afkomst (toen vooral Surinamers) in Nederland. Eind 2015 waren dat er al 2.038.500 en tegen 2060 zullen dat er volgens het CBS 3.236.600 zijn. In België waren er in 1970 nog maar 82.888 niet-westerse vreemdelingen. In 2015 zijn dat er al 733.115. Tegen 2050 worden dat er 1.149.000. Ongeveer 70 procent van de niet-westerse vreemdelingen zijn in België moslim. In Nederland is dat slechts 50 procent. De niet-westerse vreemdeling in het straatbeeld is duidelijk een postmodern verschijnsel. Europa is veel te lang blijven geloven in de multiculturele samenleving en heeft vooral tijdens de petroleumcrisis van 1973-1990 de controle over het vreemdelingenbeleid verloren. De niet-westerse vreemdelingen hebben zich vooral in grote steden geconcentreerd. In Nederland zijn dat Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht en Den Haag. In België de Brusselse gemeenten, Antwerpen, Genk, Vilvoorde en Mechelen. In Sint-Joost-ten-Node is al 43,7 procent van de bevolking moslim, in Molenbeek 37,6 procent.
