This reminds me, I should make a post asking for a somewhat similar set of recs, in a not-really-genre that I like a lot: historical novels or nonfiction with protagonists who belong to some sort of minority group (POC, GLBT, Jewish, etc) but the book is not about the travails of being oppressed. Preferably cheerful in tone, and definitely nothing which concludes in a concentration camp or slave ship.
Examples: Sarah Waters' "Victorian lesbians" novels, Sholem Aleichem's Adventures of Mottel the Cantor's Son, that sort of thing.
