This one is a mouthful, but the idea is to get beyond the white/European-centric math history many of us know. Sometimes this is phrased as "non-western," which is more succinct but not terribly accurate.
Here are a few suggestions:
The Crest of the Peacock: Non-European Roots of Mathematics
Chinese Mathematics in the Thirteenth Century (This one has been on my shelf for probably a decade!)
Mathematics in Ancient Iraq: A Social History
