Isn't this why Lolita was so acclaimed? Because the protagonist is utterly evil, and Nabokov tries to get you to sympathize with him?
Another example, maybe closer to what you want, is Toni Morrison's A Mercy. As I remember, it shows the evolution of slavery into a racist institution.

I might have other ideas as I muddle along here.
