More then one odd human society. The title of the book is also a title applied to the protagonist. She's a specialist in intercultural communications, adept at explaining the viewpoint of one culture to another.
Janet demonstrates how the unconscious aspects of culture can be stumbling blocks on the path to understanding. The sort of issues she deals with in the book are the same ones I've posted about elsewhere here.
