Things Fall Apart (Chinua Achebe) has already been recommended, but I'd second that recommendation. I didn't enjoy reading it, but it was an amazing glimpse into a dying culture and a masterpiece of literature. I appreciated it more after I finished reading it than while I was reading it.
Wolf Totem (Jiang Rong) - ditto. For me it was not quite as emotionally difficult to read as Things Fall Apart.
My new contributions are:
Silence (Shusaku Endo) - A young Portuguese Jesuit missionary goes to Japan during the 17th century during intense persecution of Christians.
Try something by Arturo Perez-Reverte. Captain Alatriste is swashbuckling fun and danger, kind of like The Three Musketeers but a quicker read. It's set in 17th century Spain. The Queen of the South is about drug trafficking in Mexico (modern) and a bit slower and darker, but still not a difficult read at all.
I also really like Sharon Kay Penman and Edith Pargeter. Most of the books are set in England or Wales though, so I don't know if that will work for your assignment.
