Beinin in Wughett al-Nazar
Issandr El Amrani
AUC / Stanford Professor Joel Beinin, a leading expert on the Egyptian labor movement, has an article about the wave of strikes in Egypt over the past two years in the wonderfully designed magazine Waghett Nazar, a kind of Egyptian New York of Review of Books (only better looking). PDF link below.

I wonder if Benin is confusing a Western public by calling all real estate tax collectors 'white collars'. White collars do not wear Galabeias nor wrap things around their heads.
Your transliteration of the magazine is a bit bizarre. It's Weghat Nazar. At least that's the official transliteration.
Yes - am correcting it, you're right.
