Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay is set in an alternate version of ancient China.

The Outremer trilogy by Chaz Brenchley is set in an alternate version of the Middle East (though some of the main characters are white).

I think the Shadows of the Apt series by Adrian Tchaikovsky has an interesting take on race, but I'm not sure if it'd be exactly what you're looking for. It's a world where people are divided into numerous races based on insect-like characteristics - for example, Moths can fly and see in the dark, and Wasps can shoot stinging blasts from their palms. There are people with black, white, red, blue and golden skin, huge variances in culture, and a widespread prejudice against 'halfbreeds' whose parents were of different races.

Guy Gavriel Kay

*facepalm* I knew I was missing someone when I wrote Garth Nix (both names start with the letter G). Seconded!
