Since you're obviously allowed SF (from 1984 and The Satanic Verses) what about Samuel R. Delany? Dhalgren being his best known book. Or Octavia Butler for that matter.
Also a couple of Booker Prize winners from India that I have read: Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things and Kiran Desai's The Inheritance of Loss.
Two others I enjoyed in the last year or so: Out by Natsuo Kirino, which won awards for best mystery novel of the year in Japan and is a fantastic book, and A House for Mr Biswas by Nobel laureate V.S. Naipaul.
(Did Jean Rhys count herself as a person of colour?)
