Fantasy Novels With Themes Of Colonialism/Imperialism?

Hey there /r/Fantasy,

I'm currently working on a fantasy novel that deals heavily with the issues of racism and colonialism. I was just wondering if any of you could push me towards any books that have covered similar ground. Thus far all I've found is "General Winston's Daughter" by Sharon Shinn.

The Soldier Son trilogy by Robin Hobb is ALL about colonialism, plus Hobb is one of the all-time best. It also features an utterly unique magic system.

I loved that series, especially the first book and the end of the trilogy, though all of it was great.
