The Watchtower series gets better as it goes along, I promise.
Scott&Barnett have the two Points books, which are inspired by Elizabethean England but not really set there (haven't read), and Armor of Light, an AU fantasy about Kit Marlowe and Philip Sydney, which I love.
Toni Cade Bambara - I haven't read her novels yet, but I am really excited about this one because it is sf. At least, she says it isn't sf, but it's the way feminism isn't womanism, so I bet I will think it's sf. I've read all her short fiction, which is just gorgeous--great, great voice, and gorgeous prose, and politics done as aesthetics. Start with Gorilla, My Love.
In concluson: BOOKS!!
Yay Fumiko Enchi!
I am sorry to say When Fox Was A Thousand didn't really work for me, but maybe it will work better for you. Review back up when LJ is.
Jessica Hagedorn is very good and I used her for background reading for my Wild Adapter story. She's also edited two anthologies on Asian American writing, Charlie Chan Is Dead I & II.
