Have you tried C.J. Cherryh? Her sci-fi is all about the clash of peoples and cultures--I've seen it labeled as "anthropological sci-fi", which I think is an excellent term. Her Foreigner and Alliance/Union series are justly lauded--though she, like Bujold, doesn't get as much attention as she should.

Hmm. I remember trying to read something of hers like... 10 years ago? and wasn't awed by it, so I haven't picked up any of her stuff since. But tastes change, and so do writers, so I'll look into her more recent stuff :)
And "anthropological sci-fi" sounds pretty awesome, I could get behind that :)
It always bothered me some of the separation between "hard" and "soft" sciences in sci-fi, because I think that interrogating the humanities from a sci-fi perspective is fascinating.

And hey, I rec Bujold to everyone I know. I've gotten my entire family hooked on Vorkosigan.

Another Cherryh fan. I know some of her stuff is hard to get into, but if you really like 'anthro sci fi' try her the Mri books, or the Foreigner series, or Forty Thousand in Gehenna, or the Cyteen books. Or the Chanur series, which is from the alien's pov. She has written *so many* things, i'm sure you can find something you'll like.

I will definitely revisit her stuff :)

Jo Walton on Tor.com has done a truly excellent series of Cherryh rereads: not many spoilers, will probably give you an idea of which books you'd like. http://www.tor.com/features/series/c-j-cherryh-reread
