House on Mango Street (Sandra Cisernos) - for a nice easy read; deals with a young Hispanic girl's life in a barrio

Woman Warrior (Maxine Kingston) - another narrative of a young Chinese girl; the second chapter inspired disney's Mulan (which they did a horrible job with as usual, but i digress)

Ceremony (Leslie Silko) - set post ww2, deals with the experience of native american war veterans in a small reservation
