His recent work, co-edited with Frank Abe, is \"The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration,\" an anthology featuring first-person accounts, poems, and fiction by those who experienced the incarceration during WWII.\r
\r
Cheung clarifies the term \"incarceration\" over \"internment,\" as most of the 125,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned without a process to determine their loyalty. The anthology is organized chronologically to reflect the complexity of reactions and the development over time. It covers various stages, from pre-camp life and initial arrests to the camps themselves, government policies, and post-war resettlement.\r
\r
The book includes diverse perspectives, highlighting the range of emotions and responses among the incarcerated, from cooperation and resistance to post-camp experiences and the ongoing impact of these injustices. It ends by connecting past resistance to contemporary movements, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of these issues. Through this anthology, Cheung and Abe aim to provide a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of Japanese American incarceration.\r\n
