Sorry for the late reply, I wanted to find a few things I thought fit your query.

I would say that both The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson, and Air, by Geoff Ryman fit your desire for non euro-centric works.

I enjoyed both of them, but I haven't really been reading anything of late, so they are not fresh in my memory. I do note that Kim Stanley Robinson has a favorable blurb on the cover of Air. I would, however, recommend both of them, they did make an impression on me.

A lot of works that are nominally about alien civilizations are really just veneers, plastering our then-current political situations over creatures of varying levels of slime. And that's okay, in its way, there was a lot to be said in those indirect books.

Congratulations or both your panels and your recent publication! Will the anthology be coming out in a physical format? I do like my physical books!

(Spoon Knife 4 is one such volume that I have which is high on my to read list if I ever get back to doing that...
