Books about Jewish history that are not from the perspective of European Jews.

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. Most of the books I’ve read about Jewish history — whether personal memoirs or general surveys of Jewish life in a particular country — are usually from the perspective of European Jews. I’m hoping to find books on similar topics, but written by authors from non-Western Jewish diasporas.

I became particularly interested in this area after coming across an article about a Jewish author who writes primarily in Hindi, as well as a video essay by Jacob Geller on the Golem. I want to better understand how non-Western Jewish communities related to major events affecting their brethren across the globe.
