'Jan Morris, a Welsh travel writer who knew a thing or two about identity transition, predicted in her 1992 book Sydney that mainstream Australia was about to embrace its Aboriginal heritage. Just as the convict stain had lost its stigma, the “taint” of native blood would, she anticipated, soon become cause for celebration rather than shame.
