I'm not sure what we're calling POC these days, so I'm not sure if my suggestion would count, but:

Mom's reccomendations:
Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me Ultima (great Native American/Mexican, caused quite a stir in CA right now)
Toni Morrison
The Elephant Vanishes Haruki Marakami

My suggestion:
some of all the Holy Books out there from the Eastern Hemisphere maybe?

I have read Bless Me, Ultima, in school, and I loved it bunches. :D

Since I read holy texts as separate from pleasure reading, they're probably not going in here, though.

The White Castle Orhan Pamuk
Nectar in a Sieve Kamala Markandaya
Consider This, Senora Harriet Doerr
Reservation Blues Sherman Alexie
Monkey Bridge Lan Cao
Colors of the Mountains Da Chen
